From 99bfc6691d79eaffaaf170a8b6584bcfe97863dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 04:53:21 -0500 Subject: merge: enable progress reporting for rename detection The user can enable or disable it explicitly with the new --progress, but it defaults to checking isatty(2). This works only with merge-recursive and subtree. In theory we could pass a progress flag to other strategies, but none of them support progress at this point, so let's wait until they grow such a feature before worrying about propagating it.
